What is Jazz Vespers?
It’s where jazz meets the Spirit—a time of music, reflection, and prayer. Come as you are, leave inspired.

Everyone is welcome.

Typically, our services last for an hour, and in Northwood fashion, we offer a time of conversation over home baked goods prior to Vespers. 

The Jazz Vespers service provides a time where jazz meets the Spirit in a time of reflection and prayer. The suggested donation is $10, or pay-what-you can.

Check out the poster for more details—and mark your calendar!

We can’t wait to see you there.
